C.
elegans Postdoc in Ageing and
Immunity.
Applications are invited for a BBSRC-supported
Postdoctoral Research Fellow position to study the molecular linkage between
ageing and immunity using C. elegans.
This post builds on our recent work (van den Berg et al, 2006; May, 2007) on
the evolution of immunity and stress signalling in C. elegans and related nematodes.
The project will involve forward and reverse genetics, bioinformatics, transgenesis and gene expression analysis and experience in
any of these areas would be very beneficial.
More details on the work of our group can be found on
our website (www.biosciences.bham.ac.uk/labs/may/)
and informal enquiries can be addressed to Dr Robin May on email:
r.c.may@bham.ac.uk.

The deadline for applications is 7th February 2008 and
the successful candidate will be expected to take up their position by 1st
April 2008.
